Moderna #2 4/4 787 Negative

I have a CHL and disapprove of the new law. I saw my fellow classmates during the class... i dont think half of em should carry on the reg. At least fifty percent of people are derps, after all.

I think it is likely that (a) kids immune systems do very well against covid, even delta; (b) it remains to be seen if delta truly is a game changer in terms of contagiousness in classroom settings; (c) virtual education as provided in 2021 is not as good as in-person, for actual learning, socialization, and mental health; and yet (d) providing a reasonable virtual option and applying mitigation methods (mask mandates, pods, outdoor lunch, better air handling, testing) is clearly the best policy option. The polarization is insane! I'm not sure I could voice opinions (a) through (c) on my Facebook FUSS group, and clearly the rapid anti-maskers are waaaay to upset about something kids just shrug and endure without much complaining.

One day the greenbelt between 2222 and NW Hills is going is going to explode.

Our cub scout pack still uses it all the time. Collect fees for stuff and then turn around do reimbursements etc. Easier than cutting checks from the bank account. It's also great for money laundering.

I went to bed with it at 105mph and woke up to 150mph

My pops went to Illinois, so I've been a happy bandwagoner in those rare seasons they don't suck. Is it possible that Bielema could actually be enough to get them respectable?

If we post videos of Leanderthals at school board mtgs, immigration from California may cease completely.

Fwiw AISD (my wife teaches there) and RRISD don't actually want you to quarantine. At least not HQ. I know what the notice says, but they aren't keeping yall out. I'm in the same boat - close contact notice on Friday. Son was home Monday & Tuesday. No symptoms, I guess. A headache one day, but then grasses are sky high. Did a OTC test yesterday and will again tonight... and if both negative... shit, I don't know. But it's our conscience keeping him out, not the school. I bet most of his class was there today. On testing, I think I heard 5 days is the standard. Maybe do a test first thing Weds, and then fuck the world?

So I called the school registrar, per the close contact email, to tell them we would quarantine. She passed me off to the nurse, who basically said its not really mandatory and that if the child is feeling fine, then we could bring them in. WTF. So confused.

I was just about to buy a ruger american in 7.62. Nodak makes iron sites, and a lack was what was holding me back. But if 7.62 ain't so cheap... oh hell, I will probably get one. I have some spam cans anyway

RRISD elementary. Just got close contact notification email. Recommend (requested?) one week quarantine. Sigh.

One thought, and this relates to FDA approval... once there is adult pfizer approval, a doc can do "off label" use of a drug. I.e. perhaps give an adult 30ug shot to a child. Will many pediatricians do that? I have no idea. Liability concerns, naturally. If you have 2 kids, maybe they could split a single 30ug dose (so 15 units, the 5-11 cohort study is 10ug) each. But my understanding is that could happen, completely legally, as soon as next week. Now, as someone who may know someone who had a 6th grader who is the same size and development as many other kids in the same grade technically a few months older... I bet there are tens of thousands of folks who have already done it. Maybe one of those folks would come clean to their pediatrician and see if they would provide a reduced child size dosage for the second shot. That's all theoretical mind you. I have heard, sample size of 1, no ill effects were noted after 1 shot. Additionally, with FDA approval off-label use would let doc give a J&J based person get a pfizer or moderna.

Pfizer full FDA approval Monday. Off label x to age 11 on Tuesday? Commercials starring Trumo family?

Fwiw, Austin Public Health is pretty no questions asked if you've got a kiddo that seems remotely passable for 12. A friend of a friend of a friend told me.

Germ guardian - 2x of the smaller ones. Room might be 20x20, so pissing in an ocean.akes me feel better anyway.

Kiddos enjoyed first day in-person in 17 months. Vast majority, 90 to 95% in masks. Sixth and fourth grade. Middle school allowed eating outside. I purchased 2 air purifiers for 4th grade homeroom. And yet I expect a "pause" and school shutdown within the first month. Not too worried about their health if they get it - if I was they would be doing virtual. Daughter can be fully vaxed soon, and hopefully the FDA will allow age 5 to 11 shots soon.

A birdie told me if you've got an 11 year old starting middle school... Austin Punlic Health doesn't ask many questions. Is the risk worth it? He'll if I know.

He should be fine. Used to be a jogger.

Koro Syndrome

But OOG suspended "any other statute invoked by any local government entity or official in support of a face-cpvering requirement." AG-38, 4(b)(v). Now that may be deemed too vague, but the all it takes is a napkin signed by POG to amend. So for mask purposes consider TEC suspended. The best argument would be by a homerule city that can claim some straight from the Constitution police power, but even then an ordinance would be suspended I think.

Is there anywhere with a cogent legal discussion of GC 418? I'm hoping for a mank mandate. But I'm a half-assed lawyer and I give the OOG about a 99% chance of winning. The TX SCt doesn't have to give 2 shits about legislative intent. GC 418 gives the executive a lot of power. He can suspend statutes and ordinances. I don't see the pro-mask legal argument.

Nw Austin. If I got a quarter inch I'd be surprised. Downtown got nailed.

Right. It will go endemic. I don't get what Australia is doing. Long term covid zero seems impossible. I don't get it.

Yes and no. The Gunnison is like 72 degrees and mostly thigh deep. So if you dumped you could easily just stand up and gather your stuff. And the right river is a bit like backpacking in that it can be a real wilderness experience without having to carry all that stuff on your back. We had folding chairs for camp, for example. Although my old backpacking jetboil was perfect, and we used our old $$$ sleeping bags. The most dangerous paddling I've done has been on lakes. Lake Laberge and Chesuncook can build some 3 ft rollers and if you get crosswise can be ruinous. But truth be told, pretty much anyone could do most of em and have a blast. He'll, for most of the Yukon the current tis such you don't need to paddle. Fun 2 week idea: fly into Great Falls, MT. Do a 6 day trip on the river, reading a Lewis and Clark history book; then do Glacier NP and Waterton. Low stress. You could do it with a small child or two.
